Epic Sun Rise – Nubble Lighthouse, York ME
This was the most dramatic sun rise either Cheryl or myself have ever seen in our lives. We were staying at a roadside motel right on the main strip at York Beach ME. We had a 2nd story, corner room, which was closest to the beach and had a wrap around porch. I had only gotten about 4-1/2 hours sleep when I heard Cheryl walking around on outside. Moments later she comes storming in, barely unable to contain her excitement, stating “get up, get up, you’ve got to shoot this sun rise”! Honestly I was exhausted and tried to get her to leave but she kept saying “you’ll regret not…

Boothbay ME
Cheryl and I were looking for a little downtime and found it in the quiet, quaint, seafaring village of Boothbay ME. Population approx. 3000 people many of which don’t live there year round. It is a summer tourist attraction although we arrived in mid September and most of that bustling activity was behind us. We stayed at the Tugboat Inn. Our part of the hotel was built on a peer that went out into the harbor consisting of about 16 rooms (best of my recollection). Eight rooms on the south side where we stayed and I believe more rooms on the north side as there were two floors and a…

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, Maine
Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse 2 Fort Rd, South Portland, ME 04106 Cheryl and I decided to spent a few days up in the Portland ME area this past September to photograph some lighthouses and take in the sights. Spring Point Ledge lighthouse is a beauty. We caught a nice day for photography and there were few people there which allowed me to get the images I wanted. If you’re into lighthouses this is one to see. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 80-400 mm telephoto lens, tripod mounted. 1/1250, F16, ISO 800 PHOTO TIPS: F 16 was used to get as much depth of field as possible without degrading…

Bug Light Lighthouse, So. Portland ME
Bug Light Lighthouse This lighthouse guides the ships into Portland Harbor which is right across the harbor to the left just out of view in this image. It is situated in Bug Light Park in South Portland ME. It’s a spacious park with a nice view of downtown Portland and is nestled in on the north and east side by the Atlantic Ocean. A great place to chill for a while, watch your kids play or maybe read a book. Cheryl enjoyed the serenity on the park bench while I did my thing with my Nikon. For more information: Bug Light Park Website Taken with a Nikon D7100 and a…

Portland Head Light Lighthouse
Portland Head Light Lighthouse 1000 Shore Road Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 This was the one lighthouse we wanted to nail during our stay in Portland ME. Portland Head Light Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country. I think you can see why. If only I lived in the area I would photograph this lighthouse in all types of weather and lighting conditions. However, it’s a bit of trip for me to get here so I made the best of it. It’s located in Cape Elizabeth on the grounds of Fort Williams Park Cheryl and I stopped by on September 18 later in the afternoon and it…

Twin Lights Lighthouse, Cape Elizabeth ME
While staying in Portland for a few days, with my wife Cheryl, Twin Lights Lighthouse was on our list of must get shots. It’s also known as Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse depending on who you talk to. We were on a tiny peninsula. As you face the lighthouse to take the photograph there was an inlet of water between the lighthouse and the rocks I was standing on. Then the Atlantic Ocean was to my right and back side. The rocks had a unique striation to them. If you saw them in person they almost looked like wood. Everything you’d ever want to know about Twin Lights Lighthouse All images…
